Back for another season and making their statewide premiere on PCN, Brandon Noble, Mike “the Mailman” Herr, Kevin Horne, and Chris Buchignani preview the 2017 Spring Game from Home D Pizzeria. This episode features several special guests including Jeff “Ironhead” Byers, Jen Shuey of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, and Chris Schell of Robin Hood Brewing Company. It also kicked off the show’s Leatherneck Leaders segment with Spring practice honoree Nick Scott.

While Kevin suns himself in Pasadena, Brandon, Mike, and Chris hold court at the Tussey Mountain lodge to break down Penn State’s remarkable run to the Rose Bowl with special guests including legendary fly fisherman Joe Humphreys, Penn State hoops alum Brian “B.A.” Allen, and former lineman Keith Conlin, who steals the show with his story about the 1995 Beef Bowl.

Back at the under-construction Champs Downtown for a second time, the guys actually talk some football, look back on an incredible season, and look ahead to a potential Big Ten title shot versus Sparty, all while enjoying cheesesteaks, egg rolls, and fries courtesy of Local Whiskey.

This show is one of two episodes filmed at Champs Downtown while it was still under construction. The cast gets a preview of the planned bar (destined to become a favorite haunt), Brandon gets a pie, Kevin shows up late, and everyone struggles to care about Rutgers.

Brandon, Mike, and Chris do their best to find interesting things to say about a trip to Bloomington, including Brandon’s famous story about the incredible apple pie at the team hotel. The highlight for cast and audience probably comes when Pete the Dog visits the set.

Brandon, Mike, and Chris held down the fort in anticipation of a prime time meeting with the loathsome Iowa Hawkeyes. Chris talks awful Iowa memories (6-4 anyone?) while Brandon offers some more light-hearted recollections from his playing days.

Kevin took a breather, leaving Brandon, Mike, and Chris to pivot from the thrilling White Out victory over the Buckeyes to a sleepy nooner on the road in West Lafayette. As usual, there were plenty of digressions into zip codes, mascots, and favorite Big Ten opponents along with a SFW strip tease from Brandon.

Kevin and Brandon went for a more formal look as the guys pondered the team’s chances against #2 Ohio State, enjoyed Halloween candy, and talked about Kev’s adventures in pretend government (Alumni Council).

Things were about to turn around for the Lions, but the guys didn’t see it coming. They even entertained some of the “James Franklin job security” talk making the rounds at the time before shifting their attention to ranking the Penn State fight songs.
